Bugsworth Basin, Whaley Bridge Bugsworth Basin is situated at the head of navigation of the Peak Forest Canal, in the village of Buxworth. The Basin was once the largest inland port on the narrow canal system; a busy interchange between tramway and canal where boats were loaded with limestone. Bugsworth Basin closed in 1927 and by the 1960s was dry and overgrown. In 1968 volunteers from the Inland Waterways Protection Society began restoration and Bugsworth Basin was finally re-opened to navigation in March 2005. Today it is unique as the only surviving canal and tramway interchange in the UK. It is recognised as an internationally important industrial heritage site, designated as a scheduled ancient monument and is protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act, 1979.
